Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. — Carl Jung
Aspects of ourselves — like ways of thinking — that exist, but we’re unaware of.
For example, someone can have unconscious reasons why they do certain things or think in certain ways.
Furthermore, some of our undesirable behaviors, habits, and emotions may be caused or influenced by unconscious ways of thinking.
Fortunately, with the right self-analysis tools, we can become conscious/aware of these unconscious thought patterns and change them.
Our blog posts and solutions at app.clarityforall.net help you catch and dismantle unconscious thoughts and beliefs.
Note: Being conscious of something means we are aware of it (3).
